The lowdown

It’s possible you’ll spot Robert De Niro or one of his actor buddies at this downtown stalwart, but you’re likelier to spot platoons of out-of-towners, themselves hoping to spot Bobby. Large, colorful paintings by De Niro’s dad adorn the brick walls, and the center bar feels pleasantly Cheers-like. The 2,300-bottle wine list is impressive, though the food is nothing mind-blowing (especially given the prices). Consider it for a business lunch or for dinner with your parents next time they’re in town, since the green trim and trophy/plaque collection at the coat check create something of a country-club feel.
